sampling design
In a recent virtual forest tutorial set in the scenic Mohn Hill Area, I explored how different sampling methods affect the accuracy and efficiency of species surveys. The three strategies…
Sampling strategies
Sampling strategies used: for this study I focused on area-based methods with three distinct sampling strategies. haphazard = samples were placed arbitrarily in locations selected without any systematic approach. random…

Systematic: sampling along a topographic gradient was the fastest with a total time 12 hours and 5 minutes. Most common species were eastern hemlock and sweet birtch. Two rarest species…
Blog Post 4: Sampling Strategies
Using systematic, random, and haphazard sampling techniques, I assessed tree species density and diversity, focusing on their effectiveness in capturing both common and rare species. Among the three methods, systematic…
Blog Post 4: Sampling Strategies
For the Mohn Mill sampling sites, I used area-based sampling. Of the three sampling strategies, systematic sampling was the most efficient method (12 hours 35 minutes), followed by haphazard or…
